THE ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN
RAILROAD.

We earnestly wish for the Roanoke
and Southern Railroad to pass
through Stokes county, via German
ton and Danbury and there is some
hope of its doing so. 1t would GER
tainly go that way, were it as cheap a
route as the other. While the freit-
age would no doubt be several humid
red per cent larger than over the
present route, the Bullock Construct
ion company, of New York is not
building the road to hold it, but to
sell as soon as possible, hence they
will go by the cheapest route. 1t has
been estimated that the cost of build
ing the present route to the G. F. &
7. V. r. r., will be only $500 per
mile. Now it remains with Stokes
county to make it to the advantage of
the company to bring it that way.
We learn from gentleman of this
city, who is financially interested in
the road, that if Stokes county will
vote subscription Of $50, 900 in 6 per
cent bonds, running forty years from
the time the road is complete and
trains running, that the Roanoke and
Southern is certainty and further
more will 60 by Germanton and Dam
bury and open up the magnificent iron
and coal beds of that country.
Winston Salem is anxious for it to
go that way way and will put more
money in it than if it goes by the 9TH
or route.
What are our Stokes friends going
to do about it? The Twin City is
with you, but the result must, in the
main, rest with you. We hope the
citizens of the good old county will
bestir themselves. Immediate and
earnest action is necessary.

dark forms, halter round the neck,
a precarious seat on a horses back, a
quick cut on the horses flank, a sud-
den jump, and then soul loaded
with one Of the blacklist crimes in the
whole category of sin, sent out into
the Unknown, and only body, rid
died with bullets, left swinging in the
midnight air. Such a picture before
the mind of a brutal man is a more
horrible warning than all the juries
ever lmpaneled or Courts of law ever
held.
We approve, and in no qualified
terms, the action of the lynchers, and
so do the majority of men, both laity
and clergy. In speaking to rever-
end man cf God, we asked him if he
approved it. He said: 81 most GER
tainly do. It was the only thing to
be done and should have been done
the very day he was caught. With
such crimes increasing, only such vio-
lent punishments are adequate to pre-
vent them
It is an unwristen law in the South,
but thank Heaven, none the less q
law, that man who attempts rape
shall be hung The white men ofthe
South are determined their mothers,
wives and sisters shall be protected.

A HOWL FROM YANKEE LAND.

1t is simply disgusting to watch the
attempts of Northern Republicans to
make party capital out of the negro
problem in the South. Up there they
hate negro, but none the less, when
they get an opportunity they whoop,
rave and swear the Southern white
man Democrat, of course) is oppres-
sing him.
The Georgia Legislature has recent
ly passed bill, known as the Glenn
bill, prohibiting white child attend
ing colored school, or colored child
attending a white school, under pen
atty to the teacher, officer or trustee
PEI hitting it of a fine not exceeding
81 900, impris onment not exceeding
six months, or work in chain-gang
not exceeding twelve months, any or
all of these punishments at the dis
cretion of the court.
Now here is what the Tribune, one
of the vilest radical sheets in exist
ence has to say about it:
The recent passage of the Glenn bill by the
Georgia Legislature is not the only showing
that has been made of late of the old brutal
Southern spirit. There are, happily, many
signs of progress and enlightenment in the
South, but the old slaye-driver habit comes to
the front with distressing frequency. This
matter of the treatment OF the negroes in rail-
road cars in particular is disgraceful to the
Southern people.
Now compare, if you please, rhe fol-
lowing extract, clipped from another
Northern exchange:
| A colored D. D., by the name of Miller was
refused state room on Hudson river boat
| for himself and family. He was a Negro and
that excluded him, although q graduate Of
Fiske Methodist University and Yale Theolog-
| ical Seminary. Race prejudice is alive in
| the North, and don't you forget it honey.
After comparing these two state
ments can any one fail to see the OBJ
ject of this uncalled-for abuse of the
South? Is it not for party capital
And yet the party that stoops to such
methods is the one now making such
fair promises to the people, the party
which once more wants suck at the
governmental pap,-it is the Republi
can party, whose record in the past i
one of bribery and corruption, O
fraud and knavery.

chased large tract of land in the
State and propose to try cooperative
manufacturing. If well managed it
will be great help to the order and we
hope to see it succeed. Such enter

stores and manufactures have been
repeatedly tried both in this country
and in Europe. We shall watch this
movement with great interest.

POLITICAL MEDLEY.

Eastern man "Armfeld would set

who shrewdly intimate that there is a
gentleman away down in hot Brazil

gubernatorial nomination next year.
We heard one of the best politicians
in Western Carolina say the other

back and run for Governor and if
they don't watch mighty close when
the Senatorial contest comes around,
he will be found occupying the seat of
the Chesterfeldian Ransom.

LYNCH LAW AND LYNCHINGS.

Is lynch law ever justified !? Prob
ably this question immedia tely pre-
scented itself to almost every man in
this section as soon as the excitement
incident to the lynching of Eugene
Hairston, at Greensboro, h I'll some
what died away While We believe
in the observance of the law and are
opposed to mob violence, we think
that Ibis lynchlne, like every other
one for the same offense, where the
crime is fastened upon the criminal
by in0ubitable testimony, is exactly
right.
Why? Let us see. A few intelli-
gent members Of society are chosen
TO make laws for all They assemble
and decide what punishments shall
follow the breaking of given law.
This punishment Is intended to make
suelsz,,sT-e example Of transgressor as
etfectrally to deter any others from
rwssias the same course
Now let us apply these principles to
the lynching at Greensboro
Within thirty minutes after the
first news Of the attempted rape was
received at Kernersville, the best citi-
zens of the community were saying ::
"He should be lynched, let US do it p
Armed men were soon securing the
country and brought him to town.
Before nightfall it was we'll under
stood that his life was to be taken
that night The shrewdness of the
officers in removing him to Green's
boro alone saved his life for the time
The unanimous opinion of this intelli-
gent community was that rope alone
would meet the emergency. These
men were among the best citizens in
Piedmont Carolina Not only was
Kernersville aroused, but every town
in the section. Without any appeal,
High Point flashed the questions
across the wires to Kernersville ::
"Where shall We meet? How many
men have you? We have fifty" The
message was answered and the follow
ing night saw over two hundred dusky
forms assembled at Salem Junction. A
leader was chosen, couriers were sent
to Greensboro, and ON the report Cali
is well, they rode into the city and,
taking the miserable william from the
Jail, sent him to his awful fate.
Can any man doubt that this was
the right thing to do? Was not the
sentence, "He shall die" uttered by a
representative body of our fellow citi
zens? Only such crime would have
aroused such men to take the law in
their hands and we believe the
Iynchers will stand justified before
God and man.
As to the effect OF the lynching on
the minds of other depravsd men,
no one can doubt for a moment
that it was more forcible, more salu-
tary than the slow process of law, even
if the penalty eventually had been
death. There would have been pos
sibility Of acquittal and opportunity
for further crimes. As it is, there il
none. Even in the event of convict
ion, the brute would simply have
worked on the railroad a few years
and then again been turned loose on
society. Now he is dead.
What an awful example to evi
doersl Imagine the effect on others o.
like nature. contemplating a similar
crime Before their mental visior
will float the picture of hundred
